how to get top 3 values in php array and their index

Question

I want to get the highest value, the second highest value and the third highest value

For example, I have an array like:

$n = array(100,90,150,200,199,

Answer 1

This should do the trick:

function maxNitems($array, $n = 3){
    asort($array);
    return array_slice(array_reverse($array, true),0,$n, true);
}

Use like:

maxNitems(array(100,90,150,200,199,155,15,186));
